Lyrics

Kings from Queens from Queens come Kings We're raisin' hell like a class when the lunch bell rings The king will be praised and hell will be raised S-s-s-suckers try to faze him but D won't be fazed So what's your name? DMC, the king is me Your Highness or His Majesty Now you can debate, c-c-c-concentrate But you can't imitate DMC The Great Dissin' all devils causin' havoc in hell At a very high level, bass and treble shall yell Hangin' in the heavens on the sound supreme So clear to the ear it is sometimes seen So loud like a cloud with thunder and lightning So proud to the crowd it is somewhat frightenin' No calm in the storm like a beast unleashed There's no stoppin' 'cause the rockin' cannot cease, break! You see it's harder than hard, not one bit soft Courageous and contagious, so you better break north Not a cold, on a roll, did you hear me cough? Just listen while I'm dissin 'cause you're pissin' me off Cold bedding is spreading all across your face You can't take when I break and if that's the case I'll go on and on and kick the bass So back off of the cup while I take my taste It's highly appraised when the hell is raised So demanding and commanding that you'll all stand dazed The unbelieving receiving prophecies so true I cut the head off the devil and I throw it at you My mighty mic control already brought his soul The Rock King is so bold when he rocks and roll A black hat is my crown, symbolizin' the sound Signifyin', we won't play around, bust it! Rhymin' and climbin', beat makin' every day No synthesizer sound, so silence when I say I am great, get it straight 'cause that's my fate My name is Run, I'm number one, that's how I rate He's in the place with the bass and style and grace His name is Jay, he's here to play and win this race He's off the wall, on the ball, his name is D Kinda tall, yes sir, he's down with me From the mountain valley to the deep blue sea The word is heard as told by D I don't sing I bring much to light Like a star shining bright in the darkest night If you are cold I'll bring you heat Like I brought the whole world my funky beat Mysterious is serious, I ain't no joke Fire from the depths of hell and you can smell the smoke Kickin' and tickin' while you're having a ball Like chicken finger-lickin' I'll be vickin' you all Don't do the bird, have you heard? Did they give you a call? Just me and DMC cold shakin' the wall There's no fearin' one hearin' sound of this kind Across the land, every man is going out of his mind On the face of the earth, spreadin' like disease Contaminating, infiltrating like a horde of bees Lord of Lyrics, Duke of Discussions Ruler of Rap and King of Cold Crushin' Puller of People, Controller of Crowds Lingering lyrics, long-lasting and loud Left y'all, a to the left y'all Because I rock upon the mic real def y'all And to the right y'all, a to the right y'all Because I rock upon the mic all night y'all You see, I want respect if I'm correct They're all like a ball that I have checked And the shots they take have no effect The punk tried to dunk but he broke his neck 'Cause I rock harder, and I get farther You want to battle D, hey please don't bother To waste your time, messing with my rhyme The only kick you'll get out of it is in your behind
